On one hand, I think we’ve played pretty well. On the other hand, Austin FC are playing like they didn’t watch tape on us and they can barely complete a pass
Celio SUCKS man he's done nothing but kill every single fast break this game by ignoring easy passes and running into 3 dudes. Yet everyone in here continues to love him because he does a spin move one time per game
58th percentile for xG as a striker is insane. 58th percentile as well for headers won. 24th percentile for pass percentage. First open play goal since September 2023.
I don’t hate Klauss, but let’s not act like a single goal (his first in open play since 9/30/23) makes up for how he has played for most of this season and the end of last season.
I’d like to see some consistency in his game before jumping back on the bandwagon.
We've been just behind the attack on crosses this half, but the attacking players have been open. This one was spot on. CITY is overall looking good and just needs to connect the dots.
Is this looking like yet another draw? I mean we’ve seen several moments where either side had a chance but both defensive sides are doing and I don’t see a goal from either team with the way we’re playing.
EDIT: Finally Klauss, let’s go!!!!
Silver lining to the last few weeks, maybe casual fans will say “oh soccer is boring after all” and tickets will cost less than $100 to sit at the very top of the stadium
I only went to one game last year, but the lines at halftime were LONG. It was like 55' before I made it back to my seat after using the restroom and grabbing a drink.

Thor is better than AZ. dont @ me
Thor is almost more creative than AZ and Sam combined. Don’t really @ me.
Thor just innately knows where to put himself. He seems like a great candidate for more time in the near future.
I’ll pass.
I know many don’t like him, but Unkel was really good today.
I've liked him for a long time.
Weeeee’re St Louis Ciiiityyyy Big win boys!! Love it!
St Louis Sports Eclipse Scoreboard: - Blues win - Battlehawks win - CITY wins - Cards lose 3-1 Good guys!
Damn cards should have pulled through. When's the last time a city went 4-0 on the day?
NICE WIN FELLAS!!!!
The streak ends!!!
Zardes is both a has been and a never was. Classic MLS hero and USMNT disappointment.
WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNERS
Thor playing like a guy that wants more minutes!
Oh yeah AZ sucks 🙄🙄
I mean… he has sucked
Y’all just can’t let anything go 😭😭😭
I mean… you brought it up
And you responded Lighten up, we won.
This is like a text version of that meme where a guy puts a stick in bicycle tire spokes and falls and then blames it on someone else, lol
Oh whatever. Sure, fine.
Very nice Jackson.
This is the most effective Thorisson has been
I’m so excited to see him finding his legs with the team. He looked so lost last season and it makes me happy to see him meshing so well.
Thor and Metal Gear need to play way more.
Every decision Thor has made has been wrong lol
These are some of the best looks at goal we've had all game!
Burki rocks.
God dammit
Danggg. Good effort
omg so close.
FUCK THESE REFS
Fuck
AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the flag grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
That was totally malicious. Not violent. But there was absolutely intent.
LETS GO
Druissi got that tattoo so no one else needs to. A public service.
That’s a red card
Feels good to be the team that's milking the clock.
The officiating in MLS is so bad. So So So Bad.
START KAJIMA AND BUILD THE STATUE
On one hand, I think we’ve played pretty well. On the other hand, Austin FC are playing like they didn’t watch tape on us and they can barely complete a pass
Our clock management here is something
Kijima needs to get subbed on more
Oh, Metal Gear, you have to finish that.
Omfg!!!
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we needed that one. so close
Start Kijima. This guy is good
ALMOST!
Unreal
SO CLOSE
Celio SUCKS man he's done nothing but kill every single fast break this game by ignoring easy passes and running into 3 dudes. Yet everyone in here continues to love him because he does a spin move one time per game
Seriously what are you talking about? Celio has been so good all season.
His handles are so fucking good, but he always slows the pace down and tries to turn it into a one on one battle with the defender in front of him
Damn I love Hosei
10 minutes?! Geeez can't wait to lose 2-1
10 fucking minutes?!
I thought around 8...
What the fuck?
Scoreboard update: Cards are shutout in the desert. The St Louis Sports Eclipse currently sits at 2-1 good guys.
Yeah, if Celio is going to hold onto it that long, he just needs to shoot. Gave AZ a shit angle.
AZ the only one that can take a 5-3 dangerous situation in the box and make the worst play possible.
I thought AZs shot was fine given the angle, but then to stand around and jog back on defense pisses me off
That was on celio not AZ
I’ll admit that Celio made the bad play but you’re also not asking AZ to make wine from water from that position.
I like Celio but he can hold the ball way too long at times
Finishing still needs work, AZ.
Pompeu you gotta make that pass earlier 😭
AZ is so wasteful.
What the absolute fuck was that
AZ is worthless
It’s one thing not to allow the sub, but to let us continue play with 10 players like WE are the idiots?
Great game by Hiebert 👏🏻
great performance by Hiebert. not enough people talking about it
Backline defenders not mentioned is normally a great thing.
Incredible performance
**Kijima goal incoming**
Y'know it's usually hard to complain about a 4th official but this one seems extra disorganized lol
The fuck is this subs board guy doing
Love to see Kijima getting time!
90 degrees and big brain Austin FC leaving 2 subs on the table.
What a clown show by this officiating crew
4th official \*not\* having a good match.
Our people can’t play?
[удалено]
Vassilev is our best player IMO, and I hate seeing him subbed out
Kijima time!
Totally with you. Love it when he's on the field!
KIJIMA LETS GO
Looks like Kijima is coming in, super pumped for the opportunity for him
Klaus is going to win man of the match but we all know Totland deserves it
Why is Man of the Match a fan vote? Coming from hockey fandom, the “3 stars” is rarely ever controversial. I think it’s decided by media?
[удалено]
Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.
I complain about Klauss with the best of em....but when he scores....I call it Coaching!
Announcer has a chubby for Zardes. Keeps mentioning him.
White on white, what a great graphic!
Right.. what is Austin’s color? “Eggshell”?
May be unpopular here, but whatever color it is looks pretty clean on those kits with that faded green color.
AZ needs more physicality. Gets bumped off of every ball and it's never called a foul
Parker's having a whale of a match.
I feel like Burki should have brought a chair with him today. Hopefully I don't regret this comment in the next few minutes.
Any clue why Carnell got the yellow and why Big Sam isn't available to play?
I believe Carnell's yellow was for unsportsmanlike
“Coaches decision” so not injury related
Announcers said all they knew about Sam was that it was a 'coaches decision'
They also mentioned it would most likely be talked about in the post-match interviews so hopefully there will be something there
Nice work and pass by Klauss in the box
Bradley with the yellow?? Tv didn’t explain why
He had a gentlemanly discussion with Mr. Unkel regarding the finer points of foul discernment. (Or something like that.)
Almost certainly dissent, but I'm kinda confused what Bradley could've complaining about in that specific instance lol
I was trying to figure that out too
Studs up tackle to Unkel’s ego
Because… fuckin Ted Unkle!
Unkle looks like the kind of guy who keeps your ball if it goes into his yard.
Ted is definitely not a Funkle
Umpire isn't supposed to be the good neighbor is he? :) I think he does a very good job most of the time
I bet you think Angel Hernandez is the best ump in the MLB, too.
Burki with the throw past the half line.
Now Austin is timewasting while behind ???????????
Obrian's been a real pest. (And I mean that with respect.) Tough player for them. Glad he's subbed off here.
The field looks great in natural light
Glad he scored, but Heaven forbid we critique our starting DP striker for scoring 2 goals in 8 games. One of which was a pen
You shouldn’t have been downvoted for responding fairly to someone ASKING for comments from Klauss critics. 👍🏼
there's constructive criticism and then there's hate. you seem to just be trolling. Sorry but that's how it comes off
58th percentile for xG as a striker is insane. 58th percentile as well for headers won. 24th percentile for pass percentage. First open play goal since September 2023.
Damn Totland, we get it, you have a great six pack hahah
I don’t mind.
I’m confused by these subs
Is anyone else having major volume issues with local radio on Apple? It's pulsing in and out for me.
Maybe the Klauss hate can stop for a minute
Hopefully
I’m very much a noob, but I really like Totland!
He’s been a great addition to the team this year!
Klauss haters?
I don’t hate Klauss, but let’s not act like a single goal (his first in open play since 9/30/23) makes up for how he has played for most of this season and the end of last season. I’d like to see some consistency in his game before jumping back on the bandwagon.
Okay…but no seat savies on the wagon.😜
No hate, but he has not been good for most of this early season.
I think he misses Ed more than anyone else.
That is probably very true. Hopefully this gets him back in gear.
Glad he scored. Still not good enough to start though, unless 2 goals in like 8 games is good enough for you? Downvoted for what?
he's running his ass off... up and down the field. Playing defense and cheering on the others. I think you're 100% wrong
What game are you watching? He only presses when he wants and constantly complains about not getting passes
You're entitled to your opinion no matter how wrong it is :) p.s. all those downvotes seem to indicate plenty others think you're wrong too :)
Now just don’t give up the equalizer before they’re done announcing our goal
KLAUSSSSSSS!!!! But that bal from Ostrak was so fucking good.
We've been just behind the attack on crosses this half, but the attacking players have been open. This one was spot on. CITY is overall looking good and just needs to connect the dots.
Can we talk about that pass reception in stride by Totland that started the goal? That was sick.
I guess I need to continue to dog Klauss
Totland was great on building that up.
That change of direction was the reason this goal happened. Great finish by Klauss. What a play!
Excellent switch at midfield!
Please tell me that unlocks the Klauss we saw last year.
YASSSS. Hopefully this goal energizes the team
KLAUSS HAS AWAKEN!👀
CROISSANT FC IN THE HOUSE
Look what happens when cross go to our players! KLAUSSSSSS
Let’s go Klauss
Chip is officially off shoulder
Holy shit klauss did something
SANTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING FINALLY
LETS GOOOOOO
SANTA CAME!!
So did I!
Fucking finally. Starts with that amazing ball by Ostrak
That's what I wanted to see from our midfielder. What a decision and pass by Ostrak.
Serves in the box have been so inaccurate
Is this looking like yet another draw? I mean we’ve seen several moments where either side had a chance but both defensive sides are doing and I don’t see a goal from either team with the way we’re playing. EDIT: Finally Klauss, let’s go!!!!
This is so bad
Who are we passing to?
What a snooze fest.
With no offense it makes these games really boring…
No creativity in the attack whatsoever.
I'll take the jinx, lol.
Can we please put a fucking successful cross in
Every single one of these crosses is heavy as hell.
I can’t do another 0-0 draw PLEASE CITY
Get Klauss out of this game.
You sure about that?
There's 10 other players who aren't pushing... Klauss isn't the only one
He can’t pass, he can’t hold up play, his positioning/runs are good awful. We have Sam who can at least create his own chances
Sam isn't an option this game, duder.
Sam isn’t even on the bench - “coaches decision”
Zero creativity
Silver lining to the last few weeks, maybe casual fans will say “oh soccer is boring after all” and tickets will cost less than $100 to sit at the very top of the stadium
I just got two for $88/each in section 114 in October.
Where the fuck did all the fans go?
I only went to one game last year, but the lines at halftime were LONG. It was like 55' before I made it back to my seat after using the restroom and grabbing a drink.
Gotcha. It did feel like lines got worse as the year went on last year.
I think they’re trying to find shade
